Most leaders who cannot delegate assume it is a process problem. Susan Drumm has studied both sides of it, and her answer is that the skill gap is real but it is rarely the whole story. Underneath it is usually a belief you have been carrying since long before you managed anyone. Susan has spent two decades coaching C-suite executives, and her work centers on pattern recognition and pattern disruption. In this conversation she explains how she spots those patterns in a leadership team, why leaders resist looking at them, and what it takes to change one in the moment. She shares the story of a leader whose habit of sugarcoating feedback traced back to being the middle child nobody paid attention to, and what shifted once he could name it. She makes a direct case that staying in pretense with your team destroys trust rather than protecting it. She walks through her four steps for catching a pattern and shifting it, explains why she uses the Enneagram over DISC or MBTI, and gets into the neuroscience of how music speeds up new habit formation. Worth your time if you manage people and keep running into the same problem in different clothing. About our guest Susan Drumm is a CEO advisor, executive coach, and the USA Today bestselling author of The Leader's Playlist. She founded Meritage Leadership 20 years ago, where she and her team work with senior leaders and executive teams on pattern recognition, team performance, and leadership development. Her background is unusual for the field. She holds degrees from Harvard Law School and Carnegie Mellon University, plus a master's in acting from the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. Before starting her own firm, she worked as a consultant at the Boston Consulting Group and later at NBC. She describes herself as an Enneagram type seven, which she says explains her habit of pulling unrelated disciplines together.

Electronic voting, a metro system, a children's hospital, a fleet of electric buses. These are just some of the projects a modern, forward-looking Ireland should have produced on time and within budget in the past twenty years. But it did not. Sinead O'Sullivan is an economist who studies complex institutions, and why they fail. And by any yardstick, Ireland is failing to deliver infrastructure and public services. She joins Pat to let us know why Ireland just can't deliver on infrastructure.
There is no such thing as a "boring" testimony! The more desperate our plight the more glorious our conversion! And we are *all* born morally unable to come to Christ because we are by nature willingly enslaved by our 1) love of darkness; 2) hatred of God; 3) spiritual blindness; and 4) spiritual deadness. [For more on these points, see John Piper's excellent sermon that Mark said he adapted these points from.] Only sovereign grace could overcome each of this and transform our hearts to make us willing to believe!

Romans 10:1-13 Misguided Sincerity (vv. 1-4) Pauls prayer Israels problem Eagerness Ignorance Misunderstood Simplicity (vv. 5-10) Inability of the Law Availability of the Lord Accessibilty of Life Manifest Universality (vv. 11-13) Whoever believes (Is. 28:16) Whoever calls (Joel 2:32) More to Consider In these verses Paul stated the content of that message concerning faith. Confessing with the mouth that Jesus is Lord is mentioned first to conform to the order of the quotation from Deuteronomy 30:14 in Romans 10:8. The confession is an acknowledgement that God has been incarnated in Jesus (cf. v. 6), that Jesus Christ is God. Also essential is heart-faith that God raised Him from the dead (cf. v. 7). The result is salvation. The true order is given in verse 10: For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified (lit., it is believed unto righteousness), and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved (lit., it is confessed unto salvation). Yet these are not two separate steps to salvation. They are chronologically together. Salvation comes through acknowledging to God that Christ is God and believing in Him. John A. Witmer, Romans, in The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures, ed. J. F. Walvoord and R. B. Zuck, vol. 2 (Wheaton, IL: Victor Books, 1985), 481. Salvation comes when sinners confess that Jesus is Lord [Almighty God] and believe in their hearts that Christ is alive from the dead. What is believed in the heart is confessed openly with the mouth. Some of the Jews in Jesus day would not openly confess Him (John 12:4243). When the sinner receives Christ by faith and confesses Him openly, thus proving his faith, he receives the gift of righteousness. Warren W. Wiersbe, Wiersbes Expository Outlines on the New Testament (Wheaton, IL: Victor Books, 1992), 394. A.B. Simpson is reported to have said that the gospel "Tells rebellious men that God is reconciled, that justice is satisfied, that sin has been atoned for, that the judgment of the guilty may be revoked, the condemnation of the sinner cancelled, the curse of the Law blotted out, the gates of hell closed, the portals of heaven opened wide, the power of sin subdued, the guilty conscience healed, the broken heart comforted, the sorrow and misery of the Fall undone. Cocoris, Evangelism, A Biblical Approach, Moody, 1984, p. 29.

Chuck Todd opens with the news that Trump is planning a primetime address to push election denialism, and uses it as a lens to examine how thoroughly fealty to the 2020 fraud lie has become the price of admission in Trump's Washington. He argues Todd Blanche should have no place in the Department of Justice, that he failed his test under questioning from John Cornyn, and that the weaponization fund could become the red line that finally moves Collins, Tillis, and Cornyn — because an inability to confirm Blanche would be a clear sign of Trump's weakening grip on the GOP. He points to the surreal spectacle of Jay Clayton refusing to answer Jon Ossoff's simple question of who won the 2020 election, looking like a ridiculous sycophant in the process, and to Trump endorsing MyPillow's Mike Lindell — the single biggest election conspiracy theorist in the country, a man who's lost every court case and been forced to pay $5 million over his false claims. He reminds listeners that it was Trump's own appointees who ran election security in 2020, that every major election denier from Giuliani on down has been forced to retract in court, and that Georgia's full hand recount matched the machines exactly — the only real constant in Trumpworld is that any outcome Trump dislikes gets branded fraud. He then turns to the mounting deaths during ICE encounters, arguing the violence isn't an anomaly but an entirely predictable consequence of an agency whose culture has been deliberately reshaped: DHS recruited candidates with violent psychological profiles using white nationalist slogans, imposed quotas that put officers under enormous stress, and pushed them into vehicle stops that former officials admit ICE has no experience conducting. In two fatal shootings the men killed weren't even the targets, witnesses have disputed the DHS account, there's no body cam footage, and Chuck argues DHS has zero credibility, even as Trump clearly wants the theater and the violent confrontations. On Iran, Chuck is blunt that having less leverage than before the war started is simply what losing a war looks like: the administration badly underestimated Iran's willingness to close the Strait of Hormuz, Iran deliberately decentralized its regime to survive decapitation strikes, and after three failed military strategies in five months, Trump has spent the entire war negotiating against himself — meaning the best America can now hope for is a managed stalemate, because Iran can't beat the U.S. military, it just has to wait out an increasingly impatient Trump. He closes on a lighter note with the House passing a bill to make daylight saving time permanent, offering the contrarian reminder that the public always wants permanent DST until they actually get it — kids forced to go to school in pitch darkness, and the simple reality that what's good for you in the evening is bad for someone else in the morning.

Then, John Opdycke — founder and president of Open Primaries, one of the leading organizations pushing to end closed partisan primaries — joins the Chuck Toddcast to make the case that the exclusion of independent voters is one of the great overlooked scandals of American democracy. Opdycke walks through the byzantine patchwork of voter and party registration rules that vary wildly by state, explains why so many independents sit out partisan primaries entirely, and argues that after 30 years of closed primaries the cumulative effect has been a system where the parties function as both the umpires and the players — a structure that simply doesn't work. He makes the bipartisan argument that tax dollars shouldn't fund the private nominating contests of what are essentially private organizations, and is pointedly critical of Democrats for actively fighting open primary initiatives.He notes that policies with 80% public support routinely fail to pass because voters don't actually have a meaningful say. The conversation turns tactical and forward-looking, with Opdycke offering a sober assessment of the broader reform landscape and its persistent failures. He argues the ranked-choice voting movement has made serious tactical errors, that the party in power always fights ranked choice voting, and that the modern reform and independent movement suffers from a fundamental lack of a compelling public face — as well as from philanthropic funders who attach outcome expectations that distort the work. Opdycke is candid that third parties fare poorly in nearly every electoral system, that Ross Perot's Reform Party is now essentially a shell, and that the American people still don't trust the reform movement — but he sees real opportunity in specific fights, particularly mobilizing Florida's independents to change the law and pursuing top-two systems that would genuinely open the door to competition. He notes the striking statistic that 10,000 people per week are changing their voter registration, laments the general lack of curiosity (and polling) about who swing voters actually are, and argues there's meaningful left-right overlap among libertarians that reformers could tap. They explore whether the redistricting wars could create a backlash against the two-party system, why there are only about 25 competitive House districts left, and why several states are now actually moving back toward closed primaries. They close with a clear-eyed take on 2028: the reform movement needs a credible presidential candidate, and with 2028 shaping up to be a wild and unpredictable year, the opening for that kind of disruption may be wider than it's been in decades.

“What's Buggin' You” segment for Tuesday 7-14-26
(SHOW OPEN): An inability to hit and stubbornness to admit when they are wrong are the biggest problems hurting the Yankees during this bad stretch of baseball.
"Both parties have to show up to the same conversation, and you have to do emotionally uncomfortable things in order to grow." In this episode, Heather and her husband, Bryan, explore what it really takes to build a strong partnership when life, health, finances, and everyday stress begin testing the foundation beneath it. Through an honest conversation about communication, leadership, emotional responsibility, and the challenges that arise when two people are growing together, they unpack the patterns that create distance in relationships and the intentional choices that rebuild trust and connection. Whether you're navigating health challenges, raising children, managing money, or simply trying to become better partners to one another, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on what it means to stop waiting for your relationship to improve and start becoming the kind of person who helps create the relationship you both want to come home to. What to listen for:☑️ Brian's breakdown to breakthrough moment that prompted him to prioritize his health ☑️ How health issues affect communication, connection, and the quality of relationships ☑️ Why not seeing the results you expect can leave you feeling broken inside "As a man or a 'leader,' part of leading is sharing what you're going through and exposing others to how you deal with these things."☑️ Why being direct and not having covert contracts creates a calm household ☑️ How having a parent-in-law living in your home can affect your partnership ☑️ 'Nice Guy Syndrome' and how it becomes detrimental to everything "It's almost like your person becomes your emotional center and everything that the guy does is calculated to obtain approval from that person, trying so hard to please the person and often becoming resentful when it's not reciprocated." ☑️ Why men can become avoidant when dealing with uncomfortable conversations ☑️ Taking ownership of your side of the street during difficult partnership moments ☑️ Why it's essential to have regular money conversations in your marriage "It's only going to get harder the more we avoid it. Money is one of the biggest factors in a healthy, happy marriage because if you don't have your money shit together, it can really really mess up your dynamic." ☑️ The harmony created between the visionary and integrator partnership as a couple ☑️ Prioritizing actions that make your partner's life easier and less stressful ☑️ Finding really low-hanging fruit opportunities to create a connection *** For those of you who are ready to stop feeling drained, overextended, and out of alignment… join me inside the Energetic Time Management Accelerator, a focused experience designed to help high-achieving women uncover what's draining them, clarify what truly matters, and create a simple plan that fits their life.

What is the great deceptive lie of man-centered belief and practice? It is that it pridefully elevates the ability of human beings instead of seeing our need of the power of God. Paul addresses this issue in 1 Corinthians 1:26-31, showing us our inability but also the perfection of the power of God through the Lord Jesus. May we be encouraged to make much of Him and rejoice in our perfect Savior!

They have achieved that, after which there is no need to achieve anything else.13:47 It is getting over the ego, "I am this, I am that."14:26 Verse 13. "A Yogi has neither any worldly duties to perform or any attachments to anything."16:14 Do the answers to questions come to Babaji spontaneously?16:43 Does a Yogi have imaginations flowing though the mind?18:19 So a Yogi has no worldly duties to perform?20:32 A Yogi's mechanical body actions are the effects of their past karma.23:24 What did Babaji mean by 'the body is just a robot'?24:16 Babaji is not a person?25:30 If a Yogi comes across suffering of others or if someone prays for them to help, they will always be compassionate.26:38 Is it important to ask the Divinity for something you want?27:13 Verse 14. "Where Is liberation for the great one who rests now beyond the world of desires?"29:16 Verse 15. "Although bodily they see the world, a Yogi actually, in consciuousnss, does not see anything."31:52 If you are not liberated and you hurt yourself, it's hard to tell them that it doesn't hurt.33:02 Does Yogi just witness the pain but is not involved?33:34 Verse 16. "In meditation the mind directly gives up all imaginations simply by watching itself. A practice to realise the Self as it is without any attributes and to rest consciously in the Self."36:18 Verse 17.37:01 What does it mean that a Yogi has no distractions?38:59 Is it possible for a person to lose their identity as a result of extensive meditation?40:35 Are there two identities, one of the person which is held in the brain, and then one of being the Yogi?41:22 What does Babaji mean by, "You cannot make yourself disappear."42:10 For a Yogi, the consciousness of existence has to be functioning in order to have that "I"?42:41 So there is a person, body and mind, then a witness to what we are seeing and hearing, and then there is the consciousness of existence and then that merges back into pure consciousness?43:29 What causes eternal existence to become conscious of its existence?45:21 When you see situations that bring a lot of suffering, how to keep away from judgement and wanting to change the situation?48:51 God appears to people the way that they perceive.50:23 Can one meditate when one is travelling?51:02 Does hunger arise in the Yogi's body?52:08 How to stay grounded as the meditation practice progresses?53:29 What to do when there is anxiety in the body?55:30 Why can we not imagine the images of the Deities after returning from visiting the temple?56:58 Inability to progress in vipassana meditation58:16 How long should I practice meditation?58:33 Do divinely inspired ideas come into the mind, or is that simply the imagination?59:38 What is the difference between the consciousness of existence and the pure consciousness?1:00:50 Is pure consciousness the absolute?1:01:06 Does consciosiuness become mind or does mind become consciousness or do they come simultaneously?1:01:49 When the consciousness of existence arises from the absolute, it has the inherent ability to imagine? 1:02:44 Brahma is the 'I am-ness' without anything else?___Website: http://www.srby.orgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/shivarudrabalayogiTwitter: https://twitter.com/SRBYmissionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/shivarudrabalayogi/Register your free place for the live online meditation and Q&A with Babaji: https://www.shivarudrabalayogi.org/en/online-satsang Website: http://www.srby.orgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/shivarudrabalayogiTwitter: https://twitter.com/SRBYmissionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/shivarudrabalayogi/

Recapitulating Life Through Limelight and KeatonChaplin's film Limelight served as an atmospheric memoir of his Edwardian theater roots and a creative attempt to process his inability to save his mentally ill mother. The story features an aging music hall comic who rescues a young woman, played by Claire Bloom, who bore a striking resemblance to Chaplin's wife, Oona. A legendary highlight of the film is Chaplin's collaboration with his former silent-era rival, Buster Keaton. Despite Chaplin's usual need for total control, he and Keaton worked as equals to improvise a brilliant comedic routine, marking a rare moment of professional synergy between two cinematic superheroes.

In this episode, Brooke and I dive into a struggle so many Christian women share: feeling disconnected from their bodies, overwhelmed in their lives, and genuinely unsure why their health is suffering. What often shows up: Constant stress and urgency Snapping at loved ones Poor health or confusing symptoms Feeling unable to slow down The root issue isn't just physical, it's a whole-person misalignment. Why "Healthy" Efforts Aren't Working So many women are trying: Diet changes Supplements Exercise plans But still feel stuck. The missing piece? The "why" behind the dysfunction. Your body responds to: Chronic stress Emotional wounds Spiritual disconnection Without addressing those, surface-level fixes just won't last. Living in Survival Mode A key theme we talk about is the nervous system. So many women are stuck in fight-or-flight, which looks like: Everything feeling urgent Inability to rest Constant distraction Burnout and irritability Your body was designed to handle stress briefly, not live in it daily. When it does, both physical and emotional health begin to decline. Emotions Are Signals Instead of suppressing emotions, Brooke reframes them as signals: Anger → often rooted in fear Anxiety → often tied to overload Irritation → unmet needs Learning to name emotions helps calm your body and understand what's really happening. Biblically, emotions aren't sinful, they're human. Even Jesus experienced deep grief and distress. The goal isn't to avoid emotion, but to remain obedient within it. Connection Before Correction This applies to both parenting and personal growth. Instead of immediately fixing behavior: Pause Attune Understand When you feel seen (and help others feel seen), real change becomes possible. Why You Feel Overwhelmed The issue often isn't effort, it's capacity. Your nervous system determines how much you can handle. If it's overwhelmed, adding more habits only makes things worse. Healing expands your capacity over time so you can handle life differently, even if your responsibilities don't change. The Work That Changes You Real transformation requires deeper work: Processing emotions Facing past wounds Letting go of control Surrendering to God It's not easy, but it leads to lasting peace and clarity. Getting Back Into Alignment So many women are living out of order: Work and responsibilities first God and self last True alignment looks like: God Family Self-care Everything else When God is first, everything else begins to fall into place. Self-Care Isn't Selfish Neglecting yourself leads to burnout and disconnection. Taking care of yourself allows you to: Show up fully for others Respond instead of react Live with more peace and joy You weren't designed to run on empty. Final Takeaway Your body, mind, and spirit are connected. Healing starts when you: Slow down Pay attention Process what's beneath the surface Reorder your life around God It's not about doing more. It's about living aligned.

"I'm going to leave the ladder, I'm going to leave the window open, I'm going to leave the lights on."This week on the podcast, I am joined by Rob Gelb, CEO of Vālenz. Rob has led Vālenz through an era of explosive growth, transforming the company from a 60-person shop in 2018 into a 550-employee powerhouse driving innovation in the self-funded healthcare space.But this episode isn't just about healthcare - it's about leadership, vulnerability, and knowing when to pass the torch.In a surprising and highly emotional moment, Rob uses this episode to make a massive public announcement regarding his future at Valenz and the next chapter of his career. He opens up about the deep self-reflection required to make this major life decision, why true leaders must surround themselves with people smarter than they are, and his ultimate mission to "leave a ladder" for the next generation of executives.We also discuss the "Kobe Bryant mentality" of embracing failure, why playing "not to lose" is a recipe for disaster, and why the future of self-funded healthcare relies entirely on "coopetition" and sharing the blueprint for success.If you are a business leader, an entrepreneur, or anyone trying to make a meaningful impact in your industry, this is an absolute must-listen.Thank you to our 2026 sponsors!ParetoHealth: ParetoHealth empowers midsize employers with a long-term solution to reduce volatility and lower overall health benefits costs.

Lindquist Dental Clinic for Children has been a Tacoma institution since 1936. Even so- Move to Tacoma Podast host Marguerite Martin admits on-mic she didn’t fully understand what they do until she sat down with Executive Director Carolyn McDougal-Weyrick at dinner this winter. Turns out a lot of Tacoma doesn’t know either. Lindquist sees kids from birth to their 21st birthday, takes essentially every insurance including Apple Health, Medicaid, Molina, Coordinated Care, Delta Dental, and TRICARE, and doesn’t turn anyone away for inability to pay. They see over 24,000 patient visits a year out of their Parkland location at 131st and Pacific, and they still have room to grow. Dr. Stephens walks through what makes the clinic different: six dentists, specialty services like oral surgery and endodontics on site, and a general anesthesia program she personally runs for kids ages 3 to 8 who need significant work done. Instead of six appointments, parents taking off work six times, and a kid who learns to dread the dentist, it’s one 90-minute visit. The kids wake up with their princess crowns intact and still want to come back. For income-qualifying military families on TRICARE Dental, Lindquist is the only place in the area that can waive the out-of-pocket and deductible costs entirely, which matters a lot when a family has four or five kids and a $1,300 annual cap per child. The conversation gets into something that many Tacoma area nonprofits are struggling with. Federal cuts to the programs that serve the most vulnerable people in our community. Medicaid cuts went into effect July 1, 2025, and Lindquist is facing roughly a $280,000 shortfall from what they expected. But Lindquist has a plan. They’re not cutting services, they’re growing their private-insurance patient base. Because when a family with insurance comes through the door, it directly supports the half-million dollars a year in uncompensated care the clinic provides. They just finished a $1M renovation funded entirely by designated facility grants and donor dollars, so the space is freshly renovated. 15 new chairs, digital nomad x-rays, a surgical suite. Come as you are, bring the kid you’ve been putting off bringing, and if you’ve got private insurance, know that showing up helps your neighbors and is part of how this model stays alive. The post Lindquist Dental: Where No Child is Turned Away Due to Inability to Pay appeared first on Move to Tacoma.

You're the exhausted homeschool mom — you must serve, you must nurture, and you must provide. If you identify as the exhausted homeschool mom, ‘ve learned that you're pushing beyond your capacity. You're making loads of decisions before lunch, absorbing everyone's emotions like they’re yours, and by evening you have nothing left — not for yourself, sometimes not even for the people you love most. Likely, you're not treating yourself like a human being who has needs. You're a mother, so you must serve, you must nurture, and you must provide. And though that calling is beautiful — deeply, genuinely beautiful — somewhere along the way the role swallowed the woman. You've disappeared inside your own life. And you feel it, even if you haven't had words for it until now. I've been homeschooling for 20 years. I've been coaching homeschool mamas since 2019. And in hundreds of conversations with women who are smart, devoted, and deeply committed to their families, I see the same eight struggles surface again and again. Read slowly. Notice which one makes you take a sigh of relief. That's the one that's been waiting to be named. What We Covered in The Exhausted Homeschool Mom Episode The exhausted homeschool mom wants to fully embrace her life — but she can’t, because she’s disappeared inside it. Here are the reasons I’ve seen as I coach homeschool moms. 1. Emotional & Mental Exhaustion You are absorbing everyone's stress. Every single day. Your child's frustration with math becomes your frustration. Their bad mood lands in your body. You're making hundreds of decisions before noon — academic, relational, logistical — and by evening, you have nothing left. This isn't weakness. This is what happens when one person carries more than a person was designed to carry alone. It deserves to be named — not pushed through. 2. Lost Identity You're so deep in the homeschool mom role that you've forgotten who you are beneath it. That eight-year-old version of you — the one who wanted space to follow her own rabbit trails, develop her own interests, have a seat at her own table — she's been sitting in the waiting room for years. You are not just a homeschool mom. You are a woman with her own story, her own gifts, her own inner life. And she's still in there, waiting. 3. No Routine or Structure That Actually Works You have good intentions. You've tried the planners, the schedules, the systems. But nothing sticks. Either it's too rigid and you're fighting it by Wednesday, or it's so loose that every day feels like starting over. A sustainable homeschool rhythm starts with understanding yourself — how you're wired, what depletes you, and what genuinely refills you. 4. Burnout & Loss of Motivation You started this journey on fire. You had vision, energy, a reason. Now you're just trying to get through the week. The passion is gone, and guilt has moved in to fill the space. Guilt that you're not doing enough, guilt that you're not enjoying this anymore, and guilt that you even feel this way when you're the one who chose it. Burnout is not a character flaw. It is a signal. 5. Decision Fatigue & Mental Fog The questions never stop. Which curriculum? Which approach? Am I covering everything? Are they behind? Am I doing this right? The mental load of homeschooling is staggering. And when you're already exhausted, those questions don't just pile up — they cloud everything. Coaching helps you quiet that noise and find your own steady voice underneath it. 6. Isolation or Feeling Lonely You stepped outside the traditional school system, which means you also stepped outside the ready-made community that comes with it. And it can be lonely in ways that are hard to explain — not just the practical loneliness of being home all day, but the deeper loneliness of feeling unseen. Like no one in your regular life truly understands what you're living. 7. Disconnection from Your Why You had a vision that made you choose this path. Somewhere in the daily grind of lesson planning and laundry and trying to keep everyone fed and learning and okay, that vision got buried. Now you're executing tasks. Getting through the day. But you're not living with purpose — and you can feel the difference. 8. Inability to Set Boundaries You can't say no. You can't claim time for yourself without guilt. And quietly, underneath it all, there's a resentment building — which then brings its own guilt, because you love these people. Boundaries aren't walls. They're what make it possible for you to show up genuinely, generously, and without resentment. Learning to set them is one of the most loving things you can do for everyone in your life, including yourself. Exhausted Homeschool Mom: You're Not Failing. You're Carrying Too Much. If you recognized yourself in any of these eight things, that recognition is the beginning of something. The version of you that your kids need most — present, purposeful, at peace — she doesn't appear when you try harder. She appears when you finally give yourself permission to matter too. What Change Looks Like… “This retreat is for anyone who has lost sight of themselves while living a busy life and wants to refocus on what's truly important. I hope all your retreats bear fruit in deflated women like me, changing their defeat into delight once again, or for the first time.

Grab your Bible and turn to Matthew 6:25 and join Dave and Bethlie as they discuss Overcoming Anxiety. Understanding anxiety Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health concern in the U.S., affecting over 40 million adults (19.1%) annually, with roughly 31% of adults experiencing an anxiety disorder at some point in their lives. Females are more likely to be affected (23.4%) compared to males (14.3%) Key Anxiety Statistics Prevalence: Nearly 1 in 3 adolescents (ages 13-18) will experience an anxiety disorder. Adult Prevalence: Around 19.1% of U.S. adults aged 18+ have an anxiety disorder, with 22.8% of those cases classified as serious impairment. Types: Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD): Affects 6.8 million U.S. adults (2.7% prevalence). Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD): Affects 15 million adults, typically beginning at age 13. Panic Disorder: Affects 6 million adults. Gender Differences: Women are twice as likely to be affected by anxiety disorders than men. Treatment: Only 43.2% of people with Generalized Anxiety Disorder receive treatment. Impact: Approximately 70% of adults feel anxious about the state of the world, including economy, personal health, and new technologies. The effects of anxiety Ulcers Loss of joy Inability to cope Failure to trust God (sometimes is a cause; other times is an effect) Failure to overcome Often rooted in the belief that this is just the way I am Or the believe that I can't overcome it The greek word that is used "Merimnao" To divide, part, rip, tear apart Jesus taught about anxiety it is often a part of our lives it should not be a part of our lives it should be put away it should be overcome
Smart Agency Masterclass with Jason Swenk: Podcast for Digital Marketing Agencies
Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training How are you protecting yourself from the real risk of owner burnout? Agency owners often burn out because they built a business that depends entirely on them. Today's featured guest is a former agency owner turned AI SaaS founder. He'll unpack what really caused his agency collapse, what he learned from it, and how he rebuilt from a completely different role. Austin Armstrong is the owner of Syllaby, a tool for social media marketing that helps users create their very own realistic digital clone to personalize their marketing efforts, allowing them to forge a deeper connection with their audience. Austin spent over a decade in the agency world, working his way up from intern to running an agency before launching his own. For a while, it worked, until the cracks appeared. His agency was built around organic marketing and heavily centered on his personal brand. High months meant hiring fast. Low months meant wondering if payroll would clear. When a few large clients (that accounted for about 60% of monthly revenue) churned, the instability became unbearable. So Austin made his tech pivot and moved to starting Syllaby, which also came with a role pivot. More recently, he just released his first book Virality and is the co-founder of the upcoming AI marketing World conference. In this episode, we'll discuss: From agency failure to early AI adopter Why the founder bottleneck is emotional The founder evolution model AI exposes weaknesses Subscribe Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio Sponsors and Resources This episode is brought to you by Wix Studio: If you're leveling up your team and your client experience, your site builder should keep up too.

Ready to design faster and smarter? Go to wix.com/studio to get started. Making the Decision to Be an Early Adopter When he started Syllaby, Austin could already see the writing on the wall with AI. He was already not happy navigating the agency world, so the question was, "Do I want to place a bet as an early adopter of this technology? Potentially cannibalizing my own agency?" He spoke with several clients and business owners and came to the conclusion that most people hire an agency because they know they need to create content to be relevant, but didn't know how to pick the right topics, and in many cases didn't want to be on camera. They needed help staying consistent and accountable. Some of them don't even have the money to hire an agency, but still have a message and an expertise to share. So Austin started to look for ways to automate those processes using AI. The Founder Bottleneck Is Emotional Before It's Operational The emotional weight of the unraveling of Austin's agency was real. Nightmares about client complaints. Constant vigilance. Inability to disconnect. Eventually, he decided to make a bet on AI and launched Syllaby, an AI-powered content platform designed to automate much of what agencies manually execute, from topic discovery to scripting to publishing. Now, looking back, he sees his agency's failure came from several mistakes. It wasn't bad marketing or lack of demand. It was structural dependency. The agency relied on: His personal brand His client relationships His decision-making His emotional capacity When large clients churned, revenue collapsed because concentration risk hadn't been designed out of the model. When delivery required nuance, he couldn't step away because "he stirred the pot." This is the Operator trap. The Founder Evolution Model Most founders believe they own an agency. In reality, the agency owns them. What is supposed to happen as your agency evolves is that your role in it evolves as follows: Operator → Manager → Architect → CEO → Owner At the Operator level: Sales depends on you. Delivery depends on you. Escalations go to you. Pricing goes through you. And when you focus on one area, another suffers. Systems Create Freedom But They Also Create Identity Shifts As the owner, being needed feels good and letting go feels disorienting. Austin acknowledged this tension. In his agency, clients wanted him. Even with SOPs, some work required nuance. Some of it was ego. Some of it was positioning. Some of it was hiring the wrong people in the wrong seats. Having learned his lesson, things look very different in his SaaS company, where he can rely on strong partners, defined ownership, AI-supported workflows, and clear decision rights. Now he can disappear for two weeks, go skiing with family, speak at events, and the business doesn't break. AI Exposes Weakness All over the industry owners agree that AI isn't replacing strong agencies. It's exposing weak ones. At Syllaby, Austin has integrated AI so much is hard to think where he DOESN'T use it. He automates what many agencies sell manually: SEO-based topic discovery Script generation Video creation Scheduling and publishing For smaller businesses, this lowers the barrier to entry. For agencies, it creates leverage. Which tool are owners using? This varies from time to time. What you should be doing is testing them all out to see which ones work better for you, as well as creating a brief with all the information you'll need in case you decide to migrate to a different tool. Jason calls this his "AI Operating Brief", a master document loaded with: Company positioning Customer data Success stories CRM insights Transcripts Strategic principles Once embedded into AI tools, it eliminates repetitive context-setting and removes founder bottlenecks. Austin does something similar with what he calls his "Austin Codex", years of content, frameworks, and intellectual property housed inside AI models. The result is institutional memory without constant founder involvement. Time Audits Reveal the Hidden Ceiling Austin is a big fan of the full-time audit exercise: For one to two weeks, document: Every task Start and end times Whether it's mandatory or optional Your enjoyment level The dollar value of your time The outcome is uncomfortable. Once you're done, you'll see which $10 tasks eating $1,000/hour time, the emotional drain disguised as "important work", and the distractions masquerading as urgency. He outsourced email management, calendar coordination, travel booking — all consolidated into a daily executive summary delivered where he actually spends time. Not because he can't do it, but because he shouldn't. The bigger lesson: you don't scale an agency… you outgrow your role. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset?

Contributor: Alec Coston, MD Educational Pearls: Disclaimer: this has nothing to do with the ER but is too cool to not talk about. Condition: Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1 (CPS1) deficiency Rare inborn error of metabolism Inability to properly break down ammonia Leads to severe hyperammonemia and hepatic encephalopathy Natural history: Without treatment, typically fatal within the first few weeks of life Even with current standard treatments, life expectancy is often limited to ~5–6 years Breakthrough treatment: A team of researchers at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania developed the CRISPR-based targeted gene therapy for this patient. First-of-its-kind precision approach tailored to the patient's specific mutation Key components of the therapy: Whole-genome sequencing to identify the exact CPS1 mutation Creation of a custom base-editing enzyme designed to correct that specific mutation Design of a guide RNA to direct the base editor to the precise genomic location Delivery method: Lipid nanoparticles used to deliver the gene-editing machinery Nanoparticles can be targeted to specific tissues Why the liver works well: CPS1 is primarily expressed in hepatocytes The liver is relatively easy to target with lipid nanoparticles Hepatocytes divide frequently, allowing edited genes to be passed on as cells replicate Long-term impact: Once edited, cells continue producing functional CPS1 enzyme Potential for durable, possibly lifelong correction from a single treatment References https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/infant-rare-incurable-disease-first-successfully-receive-personalized-gene-therapy-treatment Choi Y, Oh A, Lee Y, Kim GH, Choi JH, Yoo HW, Lee BH.

Let's just stop for a minute and think about the endless choices we have and how they can overwhelm us. Ever get that feeling like you need to get in shape before you go to the gym? We talk about the rabbit hole of hacks and how it can lead to action paralysis. We talk about how to structure your mind for the right "why." We look at why getting one percent better each day is a great strategy, but why it's so tough to stick with. Training should be about much more than a time goal, it should be driven by what is truly meaningful to you and it's well worth sitting in silence and really figuring out. Topics: Getting fit before going to the gym Can you ever be fit enough? Intellectual experts vs. practitioners What's the hack? Action paralysis Endless podcasts, influencers, newsletters Drink from a garden hose vs. a fire hose We always want more When we feel like it's not enough Trying too hard The weight of the world The integrity of a workout Do we need more? We all need a bit of a buffer Being swept up in the moment One percent better each day but not seeing it Weight loss and patience Inability to set realistic goals What is meaningful to you? You have to have more than a time goal Swinging for the fence all the time Building habits that turn into routine Pick out the right lot and build slowly mike@c26triathlon.com robbie@c26triathlon.com
PREVIEW FOR LATER TODAY Guest: Joseph Sternberg. Sternberg criticizes the BBC and Western political left for their delayed response to the massacre of Iranian civilians. He argues this silence stems from the inability to use the situation to criticize Israel, contrasting the current lack of outrage with the vocal protests typically directed at Israeliactions.
2026: A HOLLOW SUPERPOWER Colleagues Gordon Chang and Charles Burton. Chang and Burton speculate that the US operation in Venezuela exposes China's inability to protect its allies, making Beijing appear "hollow." Chang argues this weakens China's threat against Taiwan, while Burton suggests that with China's economy failing and its allies collapsing, the regime faces internal instability and a loss of global prestige. NUMBER 4
Europe's Defense Dilemma and Demographic Decline: Colleague Mary Kissel attributes Europe's inability to fund Ukraine's defense to decades of relying on U.S. protection while prioritizing generous welfare states, citing "scary statistics" regarding France's aging population and pension burdens, arguing that Europe must pursue economic growth rather than government handouts to survive security challenges.
